Where can I find a swimsuit like this one?

Awesome VS swimsuit not available in my size. Looking for similar alternatives.

I really love this swimsuit from Victoria's Secret, but they don't have the top in either of the sizes I can wear in a color that I like. My preference is for red or at least not purple or in the blue family since my other swimsuit is blue and green. I've looked around various swimsuit shops online that offer tops with bra sizing, but I haven't found any suits with similar enough tops that aren't over $100.
Separates are a must, because I'm bigger on top than on bottom, and bra sizing is much preferred for the best fit. I wear a 32D (best) or a 34C, and a x-small or small bottom because I have no hips or butt.

J.Crew has a remarkably similar top in 32D for $52. Looks like they don't have red, though.

If it's the cup shape you like, then try searching for a balcony or balconette top. Here are some. It seems harder to find one with a halter strap as well but maybe those terms will help you narrow it down.

Oh, I have that very J. Crew top in yellow with polka dots, and one of the other bottoms. If you don't like any of those colors, keep an eye on their website because the color selection changes fairly often. I'm the opposite, hippy with an A cup, but that is by far my favorite bathing suit.

Lands End! I am a first time buyer this year and I loooved everything, also you can return ANYTHING to Sears. They have the separates and decent sometimes really excellent prices. I will say to purchase YOUR dress size NOT their measurements. I wear a 36C size 6 jeans and bought a 36C underwire size 8 swim tankini, and its perfect.
